- Hyperspace Deck Command Launched! - 8 October 2025
Hey There Hyperspace FansSleeper Games’ 4th release is here! Hyperspace Deck Command is a deck building rogue-lite that takes place in the hyperspace universe, millennia after the previous games. You’ll assemble a massive space force from unit and tech cards, which you then deploy in lane-based battles against an enigmatic opponent from outside the galaxy. During battles you’ll always need to think ahead, since units in HDC operate on individual turn timers and every card you play brings them closer to carrying out their next action.The game also features a flexible dual-use status effect system where each effect works differently depending on if it is used on allies or enemies. Fuel can accelerate your own units, or set the enemy on fire. Shields can block damage on your ships, or contain enemy weapons to negate damage and status application alike. Fighter craft can intercept hostile b…

- Hyperspace Deck Command Demo Released! - 25 March 2024
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBZprZeheIE Hi there Sleeper Games crowd. To be a part of Steam’s ongoing Deckbuilder Fest I put together an early experimental demo for Hyperspace Deck Command, my upcoming sci-fi deckbuilding roguelite that will also be the third entry in the Hyperspace Anthology. You can try it right now here on Steam. The game has only been in development for 5 months now, so this is still just a small part of what is yet to come. In the demo you can fight your way through 5 different simulation encounters using a randomized starter deck, culminating in an super long final battle hat requires a powerful fleet and proper mastery of the game’s fresh dual-use status effect system. A lot of main features (starting deck selection, card upgrades, stores) are still missing though, but I hope you get a few hours of fun out of it regardless. I'm sure it makes up for the lack o…

- Swirl W@tch is here! (Hyperspace Anthology Vol 2) - 18 April 2023
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2081970/Swirl_Wtch/ Attention all aces: My next game has just launched. In Swirl W@tch you will stealth-infiltrate the ravaging industries of Cloud 2, a vibrant gas-giant that has become the new Floatoid homeworld. Use sonar and lidar to track corporate guard forces, eliminate or capture ships using a plethora of gadgets and grow the resistance movement to unlock new gear. Swirl W@tch is available now for Windows PC and Linux. If you decide to get the game then please consider leaving a review, reaching at least 10 reviews is crucial for the game right now. A thousand limbs uplift you! As for Hyperspace Dogfights: Next bug fix patch is highest on my to-do list, will get done after wrapping up the Swirl W@tch launch.

- Swirl W@tch Releases On April 5th! - 18 January 2023
https://i.imgur.com/QjZMEtQ.gif Attention all aces. My next game now has a release date! Swirl W@tch aims to take stealth-infiltration gameplay to a fresh new setting: The crushing depths of an over-exploited gas giant. Use sonar and lidar to track guards, employ a wide variety of tactics and gadgets against them and grow the movement to unlock new gear. https://i.imgur.com/eO2RMTA.gif Swirl W@tch releases on February 21st. After ---Red---Tether--> this will be the second entry in the Hyperspace Anthology, a collection of top down sci-fi games that will share a similar artstyle, but will explore vastly different genres. If you got something out of my previous games then please consider wishlisting the game. I'm very much dependent on what little launch visibility my games can get and wishlists features into this substantially as far as I can tell. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2081…
- Swirl W@tch Now Got a Demo on Steam! - 6 October 2022
Attention All Aces My gas-giant-stealth-infiltration-immersive-simlet Swirl W@tch got a new demo out. Head over to the game page if you want to give it a try and maybe whishlist it while you are there. Also I'd love to hear your feedback!
- Swirl Watch Announced - 13 July 2022
Hi Everyone It has been six month since the release of ---Red---Tether--> and my next game is now well underway. I’m happy to officially announce Swirl Watch, a stealth-action roguelite that takes place in the dense atmosphere of an over-exploited gas giant. If you want to know more you can check it out here on Steam. Please wishlist to support its development. Swirl Watch is about 60% complete and I plan to have a demo available in September. The game uses a similar art-style and perspective as ---Red---Tether-->, but explores a vastly different genre, something I might continue with further games so that they form sort of top down space-game anthology. I hope you get something out of Swirl W@tch once it is finally complete. Cheers Stefan – Sleeper Games

To celebrate the launch, this update also includes a couple new items for you to play around with. Many are unlocked by reaching certain global completion percentage or are part of the loot pool from the get go.

- ---Red---Tether--> Announced - 6 August 2021
Hi There Aces Turns out I‘ll put out another game this year, or at least I hope so: ---Red---Tether--> just got officially announced and it is planned to be a small, faster release and overall more condensed experience than Hyperspace Dogfights. The game is about 50%. I wrote a bit about recent development progress and how that all relates to Hyperspace Harvest in another news post. https://i.imgur.com/lZ0wmdr.gif As might be able to tell, Red Tether will take place in the same universe as Hyperspace Dogfights. You’ll play a ragtag group of GC demil-observers, who suddenly find themselves right in the middle of the action. As the Contempter mobilize without warning, your ships become the first to stand against their massive outbound fleets. Even worse, the Contempter did not allow foreign war-tech inside their borders and concessions had to be made. So your ships only come equipped with…

- 1.203 End-Tech Is Here! - 22 March 2021
https://i.imgur.com/p9LNlnf.png After another week of testing, 1.203 End-Tech is now available for all you aces out there. The update largely revolved around item concepts I had in my backlog for a long time now. Among other things, in End-Tech you can: -Get more effective wingmans than those flimsy drones -Attack from within a jump, or have all your shots go into hyperspace when you dodge, both massively amplifying your attacks -Make your melee deflects more effective than actually attacking -Create dedicated boss-killer builds that work best against things larger than you -Put armor on your shields -Defy death -Gain limited control over the content of a chest? A whole bunch of the items are unlocked from the start and will show up in your loot pool immediately, but most of them are late game unlocks but. Almost all of them require a win at least. The entire MK1 jet line has unlocks fo…

- Version 1.2: End-Tech Is Approaching - 1 March 2021
Hyperspace Dogfights will get another small content update. Version 1.2: End-Tech is about 40% done and planned to released within the next weeks. It will add about 30 new items, mostly as late game unlocks for Technophage wins and mastery. Offense orbitals, new explosive damage modifiers, different ways to temporarily empower melee and additional items that allow you more control over your jet build will get added to the mix. As before, the update will be free of charge, but you can support the games continuous development by getting the Deck Crew Edition. Cheers! Stefan - Sleeper Games
